The 38-year-old Spadafora was announced Wednesday as the headliner of "Rivers Rumble 4" at the Rivers Casino amphitheater on July 11. He'll face Hector Velazquez in the main event.

The bout will be Spadafora's first in Pittsburgh since a July 2009 decision victory over Jermaine White at the Heinz Field VIP tent.

Spadafora (48-1-1) is coming off a November majority decision loss to Johan Perez for the interim WBA world light welterweight title at Mountaineer Casino, where most of his recent fights have been held.

Lately, Spadafora has also been seen working the corner of Rod Salka, a 31-year-old contender from Bunola. Salka will challenge unbeaten Danny Garcia, the recognized light welterweight champion of the world, in an Aug. 9 bout to be televised on Showtime from Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.

The official press release for the Spadafora-Velazquez fight appears below.

PITTSBURGH — June 25, 2014 — Two true warriors are set to collide in the main event on Friday, July 11 in the Rivers Casino Amphitheater. Former IBF World Champion, Paul "The Pittsburgh Kid" Spadafora, will go toe-to-toe with Three-Time World Title Challenger, Hector Velazquez in "Rivers Rumble 4." Presented by eight-time world champion Roy Jones Jr. in association with TNT Promotions, the event will feature a night of professional boxing by the river with a full card of action-packed bouts.

Pittsburgh's own Spadafora is coming off a disputed majority decision loss for the WBA Interim World Title vs. Champion Johan Perez. In this match, Spadafora is on a quest for one final title run.

"Pittsburgh—this is your one opportunity to witness one of the best prize fighters ever from the Steel City, and first World Champion since the original Pittsburgh Kid Billy Conn, in 1941," said future Hall of Famer Roy Jones Jr. "Believe me, you won’t find a more picturesque venue in this country than Rivers Casino!"

"This event is a favorite among guests, and we look forward to bringing boxing back to Pittsburgh," said Craig Clark, General Manager of Rivers Casino. "The exceptional fighters on the card and Rivers' outdoor amphitheater make this an event that is not to be missed."

Rivers Casino will hold a weigh-in party with all the boxers on Thursday, July 10 at 7 p.m. in the Wheelhouse Bar and Grill (must be to 21 to attend).
